Journal of Youth and FishAblaze with the fecund arrays of his mysterious pan-
existence, he pondered distance through the deft simile
of the ocean's repetitive motions. He was adroit
with youth—dilated—as sea lions reclined
on offshore outcroppings where pelicans extended
in the lower, non-aquatic planes. Somewhat behind the
tide's penchant for reach he considered the odd fenestration
of what was curiously abstract: the wetted sand
he stood upon; the land loss the water swelled up from,
the riven seacliffs crumbling onto the cropped beach—
shaken he was, disturbed by the void of panacea
and the cunninglessness of the ancient, butt-ugly fish.
